Extra headlights came today so this project is gonna get rolling. Took the headlights apart and threw in the front half of the projector to see how it's gonna fit and took some pix. The headlights will most likely be blacked out as well. Will update with pix as the retro progresses and may do a diy writeup if all goes well. Enjoy!

Looks good so far. Damn those fx's are a tight fit. Are you going to do a lense swap on them. The output will be so much better if you swap them out with a tsx clear lense. Good luck with the project.

wow everyones doing a retro lol. im waiting for shrouds to come so i can start mounting it all.

 
Rep Power: 261

i dont have the ***** to do a retro fit..it looks really hard and like theres alot of custom fab and stuff to do..maybe it looks harder than it really is..a diy would be cool.. but wait ive seen a diy on this site before right??

heres some of the mounting equipment. Hoping to make it fully adjustable <V>^ and rotational. For a shroud I'm using a ace pipe flange seen in first post and either pvc pipe reducer or stove element thing.

as far as the lens swap goes I'll try a spacer for the fx clear lens thats on there and decide what to do from there, funds are short and lenses aren't cheap

instead of the stock lenses, use ZKW lenses. theyre really clear on my retros

lookin good! keep us updated with the progress. thats an interesting mounting bracket you have there. im interested to see how well that works. good luck!

good choice for mounting brackets...fully adjustable projectors...

2 bracket on each bottom of the FX nice...

i am keeping the FX lenses as well...other lenses are too expensive...

i was planning to just use the stock adjusters for horizontal and vertical. so i just need to get the rotation correct.

This is my first retro so progress has been slow. Working on one side and figuring things out along the way. Heres what I've done so far:

Painted the headlights


Only needed to enlarge the hole a tiny bit. It gets super dusty.


Cut down the projectors a little bit. Then had to figure out a way to mount the brackets to the projectors without interfering with the bixenon solenoid. Ditched the store bought brackets and made my own


Bracket attached. L & R adjusters


Test fit plenty of room. Theres about 3/4 inch space from the headlight lens to the closest part of the projector

Rep Power: 274

are you gonna run the projectors without shrouds?

 
Rep Power: 251

subscribed. I just finished doing my retro. . Im very happy with mine. looks good my man. keep us posted

 
Rep Power: 247

Gonna use an ace flange and stove element cover for a shroud. Dont wanna pay for an oem shroud that may or may not fit

 
Rep Power: 253

nice nice

 
Rep Power: 813

plz dont use the stove cover, it looks so bad esp since it cant be cut straight. it will look bad, youll see when you do it. there are plenty of nice shroud, im using some from a big benz, it doesnt fully fill the space in the back, but it covers enough to look decent.

Lookin' good.

DAMN looks nice.... Im gonna do the same retrofit, the projector is coming in sometime next week. i really like the way you have it set us so you can adjust L/R, but how about the Up/Down adjustments? Also where did you get those springs for the L brackets, or did it come in a set? PM please, I need to get all the help I can!!! THANKS!!!
